Thunder offence erupts for season-high

The Langley Thunder entered their third game of the season with a total of 11 goals in 120 minutes of lacrosse. It took them just over 34 minutes to match that amount in their most recent game.

The Junior Tier 1 lacrosse team broke out offensively with a huge 17-4 victory over the host Burnaby Lakers at Bill Copeland Arena on Sunday night.

The win improved Langley to 1-2 on the season while Burnaby fell to 0-6.

It was a one-goal game midway through the first period with the Thunder holding a slim 3-2 advantage. But the visitors scored three straight to close the opening frame before pumping home six of the eight goals in the middle frame for the 13-4 lead.

Langley added the only four goals of the final period, while also limiting their Laker opponents to a mere three shots on goal.

Nine different players found the back of the net for the Thunder while 13 of the 18 had at least a single point. Kanen Hunter (three goals, four assists) and Tristan Kirkham (two goals, five assists) both had seven-point games while Trevayne Hunter (two goals, four assists) and Nathan Lavigne (four goals, two assists) had six points apiece.
